June 6, 2022 – The Decatur Area Arts Council Public Art Committee announced the completion of a new mural at 1920 N. Oakland Ave.
The mural is located on the north wall of the Decatur House of Prayer building and was sponsored by The Beautify Decatur Coalition. Additional materials were provided by Lowe’s and volunteers from the Decatur House of Prayer.
The project took local artist Jerry Johnson just under a month to complete. The design was developed to speak to the missions of both the Beautify Decatur Coalition and the Decatur House of Prayer, with flowers, the rising and setting of the sun and moon, and the call for everyone to help improve our community.
The mural joins over 20 other murals in the community, including a piece done by “The Godfather of Street Art” Ron English, and “What lifts you?” wings by famed artist Kelsey Montegue.
